Hiya Doc,

That's a good question....and i don't think there is a person who has not wondered the same thing. If a poll was taken as to how many people had this thought..i think it would far out weigh the actuality of Michael Jacksons death having the sensationalism that Elvis' death did.

I don't think that here in the United States Michael Jackson will be as decorated as he will be in other countries. He lost his luster among the American people. What we once thought of as a mega superstar with talent unmatched...turned to a singer with too much plastic surgery and scandals with boys. This new image tarnished the Michael Jackson that we once knew.

Of course there will be the immediate flood of press and media attention. But as the dust starts to settle so will the American public.

I choose to remember him when he was at the top of his game. His music and his dancing put him in a class of his own.

Funny how life works...in life some are ridiculed...in death they become a legend.
